My work investigates the parallels between the action of painting and lived duration in order to reassign the boundaries of time as a construct. 
As part of an explorative body of work which investigates the potential of a non-linear timeline, Blue Is A Magic Number highlights a more playful and absurd side of my practice. 
My paintings seek to deconstruct notions of time which we accept without question. Why do we measure time in a quantitative fashion? Through altering the phrase 'Three is a magic number', to introduce a qualitative aspect (blue), I invite the viewer to consider my alternative perception of time, where time can be visual or physical. Replace 'three' in a sequence, a timeline, or a clock, with blue, and suddenly these constructs of time are nonsensical. 
A viewer singles out blue elements within this painting - they construct an image of 'blue' which replaces a linear aspect of their perception of time to create their own version of my visual timeline. They then begin to isolate other colours, considering the interrelationships between them. They are able to map out the sequence of time held within this painting.
